Infrared patient thermometer, ear (A hand-held, battery-powered, electronic instrument designed to measure the temperature of a patient's ear canal. In most cases it is intended to estimate the internal (core) temperature of the body by measurement of infrared radiation from within the auditory canal. It may claim to measure directly the infrared emissions from the tympanic membrane. An infrared ear thermometer usually displays values corrected by an offset of actual patient oral/rectal temperatures. This is a reusable device.)
